WiFi_Start()
This function is called by a device driver’s NetDev_InitStart() to configure a specific network device’s clocks on a specific interfacestart and power up the wireless hardware.

Prototype
Note: since NetDev_WiFi_CfgClkStart() is accessed only by function pointer via a BSP interface structure, it doesn’t need to be globally available and should therefore be declared as ‘static’.
Arguments
pifp_if
Pointer to specific interface to configure start device’s clockshardware.
perrp_err
Pointer to variable that will receive the return error code from this function:
NET_DEV_ERR_NONE
NET_DEV_ERR_FAULT
This is not an exclusive list of return errors and specific network device’s or device BSP functions may return any other specific errors as required.
...
Required Configuration
None.
Notes / Warnings
...
Since each network device requires a unique NetDev_WiFi_CfgClkStart(), it is recommended that each device’s NetDev_CfgClkWiFi_Start() function be named using the following convention:
NetDev_WiFi_[Device]CfgClk_Start[Number]()
[Device]
Network device name or type, e.g. MACB RS9110 (optional if the development board does not support multiple devices)
...
Network device number for each specific instance of device (optional if the development board does not support multiple instances of the specific device)
For example, the NetDev_CfgClkWiFi_Start() function for the #2 MACB Ethernet controller on an Atmel AT91SAM9263-EK RS9110 wireless devie should be named NetDev_WiFi_MACBRS9110_CfgClk2Start2(), or NetDev_WiFI_MACBRS9110_CfgClkStart_2() with additional underscore optional.
